of 1880, while the less enthusiastic and
those who are somewhat familiar with
the building of railroads over the noun
tains and through the canyons, say the
feat will be remarkable if the track
shall be laid to this city in 1891. It is
doubtful if any grading will be done in
Utah this year, and tits certain that il
any shall be done 1t will be only at
points or passes where. it is desirable TO
secure the right of way against other
companies. We publish this, not for
the purpose of discouraging anybody OF
throwing a wet blanket over any boom

little some people know of what they
are talking, and how reckless they are
in their assertions. Whatever OF a

must have something else than railroad
building to support it.

NOT A RAILROAD BOOM.

Those people who are talking so
loudly about the boom which is here or
will be here before summer, and who
when asked upon what they base their
boom" prospects, say the coming of
new railroads, display their ignorance
and asininity. Two or three railroads
are coming in this direction, and in the
course of time will reach The Salt Lake
valley; but have the boomers" any
idea when these roads will get here 2
1t will probably not be disputed tina
the Midland will be the first to come /;
the company seems to have the money
and the necessary energy and courage
to build the road as rapidly as a reason
able regard for economy viii permit,

which are en- route hither. Now, the
most sanguine among the midland
builders hope to reach the Salt Lake
valley In three years, or in the autumn

hausted? The Mormons might not at
first control the State government by a
majority vote, but in two or three years
the State would be absolutely in their
possession. Immigration from Utah
would turn the scale. The land system
of Nevada would favor Mormon occu-
patton, and the land is unattractive to
Gentle settlers, while it resembles the
land with which MorInons are well ac-
quainted. The nature Of the soil where
agriculture is possible would not repel
the Larter-day Saints if the church
should command them to settle upon
it."
The TIMES says the Mormon leaders
have long had their eyes on Nevada,
but their present plan being exposed
thinks that Congress will never play
into their hands by supporting the
| scheme"
The cleverness of our able and e.
teemed contemporary is admitted, and
| its assumption would be plausible
enough if it were not for some very
stubborn facts which are known here,
but may not be known in the saLctum
of the Times newspaper. One OF these
facts is that there has been no time
within the past fifteen years when the
Mormons could not have gained polit-
ical control of NevadaNsix months after
they had set out TO do it; they have
had the voters and the ability TO
COLOMBO them in the sage brush State.
The fact here stated is a convincing
and absolute ansRe to the allegation
that the leaders have had their eyes on
the State land the privileges which its
people enjoy" 1t is also sufficient de-
nia1 of the assertion that the present
scheme is in the Mormon interest, if it
we're not devised by the Mormons them
selves. If the Mormons had hankered
for Statehood enough to induce them
to make the sacrifice required, they
would long since have controlled Ne
yada made their own laws, and sent to
the United States Congress two Senators
and one Representative of their own
choosing. The Mormons want nothing to
do with Nevada. They recognize it as
politically and socially the rottenest
Of American commonwealth, and
as worthless materially; and they
have no ambition to make the sacrifice
necessary to its moral, political and
matters redemption. We can assure
Dur contemporary that the most de-
ermined opponents of the annexation
scheme are the Mormons. The Saints,
more than all others, understand the |
wills of the Territorial system of gov
more than all others they |
lave suffered and are suffering from
hat infamous system; but bad as Terri.
orial rule is in conception, and wicked
IS it is in operation, the Mormon people
prefer it to an alliance with a State
whose name is synonym for dis
honesty and corruption. Better serfdom
With good name and self respect, than
tatehood with the loss of reputation
Which would follow.

CHINA HAS just again shown its
originality. A village being troubled
by gang of tramps, the latter were
invited into a church. and the doors
being locked, the edifice was burned
together with Its inmates. This
method of gettina rid of a pest is not
only original, but is effective, and COM
parativeiy inexpensive. A Chinese
church wouldn't cost half as much as
the support of the army of tramps for
a week.

A MISTAKEN EDITOR.

The New York Times thinks the
Mormons are at the bottom of the
scheme for the annexation of Southern
Idaho to Nevada. It thinks it sees a
deep-laid plot on the part of the Saints
to capture State government, and
thus free themselves from congressional
annoyance and supervision. The
editor cleverly convinees himself by
this line of argument. Southern Idaho
is largely settled by Mormons. IN
1880 the population of the entire Terri
tory was only $500, but in one small
county of Southern Idaho, out of $500
inhabitants two years ago 1880 were
Normons. In 1882 half the members
of the Idaho Legislature were Nor
mons" The statistics of religious
denominations show THAT the. Nor.
mon organization had in Idaho in 1888
twice as many churches and nearly
twice as many members as
could be counted in all the
other denominations combined" All
these Mcrmons are in the southern part,
which is to be annexed. Nevada is "a
dying State. Its population in 1880 was
only g ,265. Since that time the num-
Der of inhabitants has steadily de-
creased, and 1t is believed that census
taken now would not reveal more than
$1,000 persons within its boundaries,
The Legislature has asked the National
government to give the State all the
public lands in its area, so that thew
may be used to save the State from
extinction. Already there are Mormons
in Northeastern Nevada, and the Nor
mon Church has exerted some influence
in Nevada politics. What would happen
if Southern Idaho, which is largely set
tlei by Mormons and is growing in
wealth and population, should be an
nexed to dying Nevada, more than half
of whose present population would de-
part if the mines should become ex-

CONTINUE FAIR.

In It's circular for the information Of
registration officers" The Utah Com
mission hes shown a disposition to be
fair and reasonable. 1t has not been
influenced to harmful degree by the
rule-or-ruin clique, which hoped the
board would take such action as would
deprive Mormons and fair minded men
of the right to vote or hold Office. If
the fanatic leaders of the Loyal League
could have had their way, the Commits
sion would have issued instructions"
instead Of uttered Opinions" merely,
and there instructions would have pro-
hibited all but Loyal Leaguers from the
exercise of the franchise. However, as
remarked, the Commission has evidently
tried to keep within the letter of the
law. II the suggestions sent out by
the Commission shah be adopted by
the registration officers, nobody en-
titled to vote under the law will be de-
prived of the right. Having been fair
and apparently free from partisan bias
in the circular. we hope the Commits
sion will be equally upright and just in
the designation of registration officers
and judges of election, and will appoint
only such men as will heed the law and
be free from political bias in its inter
probation and administration. The Ed
munds act, under which the Commits
sion exists and operates, has been in
the books and enforced five years,
and no attempt on the part of the
Peoples party to evade it has been
made. The only members of the party |
not clearly entitled to register and vote,
who have offered themselves, are those |
selected for testing in the courts the |
doubtful provisions of the act. The |
law has been accepted by the masses, |
and nobody has tried to take advantage |
of it for the benefit of the Peoples |
party. This compliance with the statute
will continue, and none not entitled to
the ballot viii oaer themselves for
registration, except, as heretofore, for |
the purpose of instituting 'test cases."

not been taken away by Congress,
should not be bothered and annoyed
unnecessarily by oficious registrars and
partisan judges. The Commission,
after its experience of tive years, ought
to know that no fraud will be attempted
by the Peoples party and it should
therefore be careful to see that the
voters of that party sre denied none of
their rights and are not subjected to
unnecessary trouble in the exercise of
their privileges. Fair, intelligent and
capable men for judges can be APP
pointed from either side, and it will be
the duty Of the Commission to desig-
nate such men, regardless of what may
be said of it by the rabid Leaguers.

SAN ANTONIO, June 21.-The federal
court room was overcrowded with specta.
tors this morning, and the interest was
intense when United States Commissioner
Stephenson read his lengthy decision in
she now famous examination of the mayor
and Others for conspiracy to de-
fraud the citizens of the right of free
speech. In the decision, Defendants
Callaghan and Shardine were dismissed
from custody, and Messrs. Lockwor
and Gus Kampmann were held in the sum
of 81 900 each to answer the federal grand
jury on the charge of conspiracy ard
additional bond of $1,000 was demanded
of Gus Kampmann to answer the charge
of criminal assault on Rev. Sutherland.
1t is now intimated that there will be some
prosecutions in the state courts for per-

HOUSTON, June 21.-- Houston put on its
best holiday clothes to-day. The entire
city was profusely decorated with bunting
and evergreen, the modest peanut stand
vying with the mammoth warehouse in
its tasteful display of each. The morning
trains brought in hundreds of people
from every part of the state, who swelled
the crowd of visitors already here to be
tween three and four thousand.
The state encampment was inaugurated
at 1880 a. M, with grand street parade,
arranged in the following order:
Eighth United States Cavalry band,
Battery United States Third artillery.
Major.general A. s. Roberts, com.
mander of state militia and staff
Adjutant-general w. H. King and staff.
Brigadier-genera Bedell, of the state
militia, and staff.
Austin Greys.
Granite Rifles, of Burnet.
Longyiew Rifles.
Lee Guards, of Giddings.
Fayette Guards, of La Grange.
Pearson Guards, of Richmond.
Lampasas Rifles.
Miller Guards, of Bolton.
Dallas Light Guards.
Brenham Light Guards.
Houston Light Guard.
Houston Light Infantry.
Rutherford Rangers, of Harris county.
Pracie Rangers, of Brazoria county.
The procession proceeded to the fair
grounds where the militia are quartered.
In the afternoon grand dress parade at
the fair grounds, in which all the COM
panies participated, was witnessed by
several thousand people. The programme
was interrupted for a half hour by a
heavy shower of rain which drove the SOL
diers to their tents. After it had ceased,
the parade was concluded.
Tonight there is dancing at the pavil-
lion. Tomorrow the competitive drilling
begins. The first is the "Maiden Drill"
for companies which have never won
prize in state enoampment. The prizes
are: First, 5000; second, 800; third,
$50. Entries; Fayette Light Guards,
Lee Guards; Austin Greys; Brenham
Light Guards; Dallas Light Guards;
Pearson Light Guards. The first four
companies will drill tomorrow. In the
pools the Dallas Light Guards, Austin
Greys and Brenham Light Guards have
sold successfully as favorites.
In the second competitive drill for COM
panies which have never won a prize
in an interstate drill, there are
six entries: Fayette Light Guards,
Austinl Greys, Waco Light Infantry,
BRENNAN Light Guards, Pearson Rifles,
Houston Light Infantry. The Fayette
company will drill on Thursday and
others on Friday Thursday afternoon
the Houston Light Guard will drill to beat
by twenty five points the best drill put up
during the encampment for a prize of
$3.50. This is expected to be the greatest
event of the week. 1t is expected that
the already large attendance will be
greatly augmented at the competitive
drilling. number of press representa-
tives are here, and will be entertained at a
press banquet Thursday night.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
JAY GoULD's GENEROSITY.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The Mount
Vernon estate, where the remains of
Washington lie entOmbed, has been en-
larged by the addition of thirty-three and
one-half acres on the northern side, near
the old Washington mansion. 1t was Sc
cured through the generosity of Jay Gould.
While on his way up the Potomac
from Fortress Monroe, recently, in his
yacht, Mr.. Gould stopped at Mount Yer
non, and was shown around the grounds.
He expressed great interest in the place
and the admirable manner in which it is
cared for. In the course of conversation
the superintendent remarked that the
tract in question was much
needed to promote the prosperity from
encroachment. Mr.. Gould Immediately
authorized the purchase of the land at his
expense, and it has been bought and
turned over to the Mt. Vernon regents.
The price paid is unknown.
